Precinct 1: Canal burns, West Street bleeds, and the hours keep ticking
Precinct 1: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 26, 2025
West Street, Broadway, and the clock
- In this precinct, people on bikes and on foot take the blows: 199 cyclists and 257 pedestrians injured since 2022, with 12 serious injuries across all factors in the dataset window (NYC Open Data).
- The hot spots are plain. West Street leads with 83 injuries. Broadway follows with 43. Afternoon swells. Night does not spare us: injuries spike around noon and again into the evening, with steady harm even at 8 p.m., 9 p.m., and 10 p.m. (NYC Open Data).
Canal Street: speed and the dead
- On July 19, a driver in a stolen car went more than 100 mph off the Manhattan Bridge and hit at Bowery and Canal. Two people died. The city said it would move fast: “We are taking immediate steps to fortify this intersection,” said DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez (Gothamist). NY1 named the victims, Kevin Cruickshank and May Kwok, and reported the alleged speed at “more than 100 miles per hour” (NY1).
- Advocates warned the fixes were a start, not an end. “Canal Street is only as safe as its most dangerous block,” said Ben Furnas. “The vast majority of the corridor will remain deadly” (Gothamist).
- Prosecutors moved. “Two women charged in connection with a deadly crash in Chinatown have now been indicted” (CBS New York).
Who gets hit, where the harm lands
- Peak hours in this precinct hurt: injuries pile up around midday (noon to 2 p.m.) and again from the commute into night. Even at midnight there are 40 injuries in the dataset’s tally, and at 10 a.m. there is the lone death recorded in the period summary (NYC Open Data).
- Among pedestrians, cars and SUVs do most of the damage, with taxis, buses, bikes, and trucks also in the count. The roll‑up shows sedans and SUVs far outnumber others in pedestrian harm (NYC Open Data).
- The causes we can name: “other” leads the ledger, but the dataset still flags inattention, failure to yield, and unsafe speed among listed factors here (NYC Open Data).
Names on the blotter
- May 1, at Church and Chambers, a pedestrian was left unconscious after a failure to yield by an e‑bike rider, per the city record (CrashID 4814321).
- Nov. 16, near Park Place, a 69‑year‑old cyclist suffered severe lacerations; the listing cites driver distraction and limited view (CrashID 4773079).
- Aug. 20, West Houston and Mercer, a 31‑year‑old cyclist was seriously hurt; the record cites “Traffic Control Disregarded” (CrashID 4836490).
Make the corners safe
- The tools are basic. Daylight the curbs on West Street and Broadway. Harden the turns. Give walkers an early start at the lights. Protect the bike lanes where the bodies are.
- At Canal and Bowery, extend barriers through the corridor, not just the corner. Narrow the lanes. Post and enforce lower speeds where the deaths fell (Gothamist).
Citywide levers that matter here
- Lower speeds save lives. Albany passed Sammy’s Law. New York City now has the power to lower limits. A citywide 20 mph default would backstop every bad corner. Our site explains how and who to call in our action guide.
- A few drivers do outsized harm. The Stop Super Speeders Act would force the worst repeat offenders to use tech that keeps them near the limit. The case for it, and who to press, is in Take Action.
What will it take
- West Street still racks up injuries. Broadway too. Canal took two lives in a flash. The night hours keep filling the ledger. The fixes are not secrets. They are paint, posts, timing, and will.
- Do one thing today. Then another tomorrow. Start here: take action.
